This
site is a naturally occurring Oak and mixed evergreen
Woodland, comprised of Coast Live Oak, Black Oak and
Valley Oak with California Bay and Madrone. The garden
designer’s task was simple: create an under-story of
plants that are native to these two plant communities.
The repeated white flowers of the ‘Canyon Snow’ selection
of Pacific Coast Iris are a perfect compliment to the
dappled shade of the Oaks. To accentuate the woodland
experience, flagstone pathways amble up and down and
between the trees of this hillside garden. Native bunch
grasses are massed for dramatic effect in the more open
sunny areas. Decorative containers punctuate the walking
spaces. They are filled with oversized ornamental
grasses. |
